“This will be used by trainees at all levels ‐‐ residents and fellows ‐‐ as well as practicing surgeons who wish to expand orsolidify their knowledge in the field. … This is an extremely valuable and unique contribution. There is, currently, a plethora of books about hernia repair, but there is nothing like this book.” (Carol Scott‐Conner, Doody's Book Reviews, May 31, 2019)
